I'm one of those autistic fucks who like Squalor Victoria.

Album is above average.

Squalor Victoria is amazing, never saw how anybody saw it as a weak point here.

Does the rhythms and instrumentation on the song Brainy give anyone else shoegaze/post-rock vibes?


I don't know about shoegaze, but the guitar tone on that song is sort of post-rock-ish I guess. The songs themselves are not post-rock at all but there are occasional hints of it, in the album's more atmospheric moments - the scratchy, droning guitar in the background of Slow Show, for instance.

am i the only one who finds the climax to Fake Empire to be an underwhelming part of an otherwise amazing song?

Don't worry, these guys are slow burners. I already love half this album & it's not as though the rest is average, I'm just stingy.

Alligator is at 4.5 but I've heard that one more so far.

Is that better? (don’t respond with ‘marginally but your rating is still wrong’ etc. Haha).



This is awesome yeah, Slow Show honestly nearly made me cry, love ‘Strangers’, Brainy & Ada as well, amongst others.

The live release of this record may just singlehandedly make me bump this to a 5. It's so, so good.
